In food processor, place flour, salt and sugar. Add butter, and pulse for 8 - 10 times, until butter is the size of peas. Keep the machine running, and add ice water in a thin stream, just untildough sticks together.

Divide dough into two equal discs, flatten, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Roll out into two crusts.

Bring the cherries to room temperature. Pour out 1 cup of the cherry juice, and reserve it. Drain off the remainder of the juice.

Mix together sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium-sized pan. Add juice, and stir until combined. Add cherries, and cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring until clear and thick. Continue cooking for one minute more. Removing the pan from the heat, stir in the butter until melted; then fold the raspberries into the sauce carefully so that the fruit is not bruised.

Pour the fruit mixture into the bottom pie shell, and place the second pie shell over the top. Seal the edges and crimp. Sprinkle granulated sugar over the top. With a knife, cut vents into the crust; then bake in the oven for 45 minutes.

You're welcome, KayLinda. Some of the oldest recipes are the best, I guess. Is that your restaurant in the picture? I've only been in Kansas four times, when I was passing through on my way across the country. The people are so friendly that I thought it must be a nice place to live.

Jennyma, I am so embarrassed I could cry. I checked and double-checked this recipe after I read your note, and you're right. This recipe was in a stack of my grandma's recipes, and I always assumed it was hers. However, the wording is exactly the same as Phyllis' pie, and I think that's way too much of a coincidence. I'm going to ask the administrator to delete the recipe. I know people steal recipes all the time, but I'm not one of them. I feel like a thief. The recipe came to me through my aunt, who had so many of my grandma's recipes, so I had no way of knowing. Thanks for pointing this out to me.

As for the butter, I add it to the saucepan just before I add the raspberries.

I'm still thinking. You don't suppose Phyllis got the same recipe, do you? I'm going to write to my aunt and see what she says. I know that my grandma served this to her little club of six women when they met at her house. This is strange.... Anyway, I'll contact an administrator, and thanks again.

I've learned that this recipe has quite a history with my grandmother. It won her a blue ribbon at the Summit County Fair and went on to win another at the Ohio State Fair. It has been published in a number of small cookbooks throughout the years. In the interim, while waiting to hear from my aunt, I decided to be on the safe side and contacted the chairman of the National Pie Board. I have received written permission to post the recipe here. Thanks to all of you for your kind remarks about the pie recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
